Episode 193: Barbara Mackle | Loved one, please come home

Dec 01, 09:53 PM

Jane Mackle had been nursing her daughter, Barbara, back to health after she caught the flu during her finals week at Emory College in December of 1968 when two masked assailants rushed into their motel room and kidnapped 20 year old Barbara. What would follow would be one of the largest manhunts and rescue missions the FBI would ever take on. Join me as I tell John the story of Barbara Mackle.
